Do I need to buy a contract when buying an iPhone?
My iPhone was stolen from me and I'm trying my best to hide it from my dad lol. I already have a contract on my dads account, so when I purchase a new one will I need to buy another contract or can I just buy the phone?
You can buy the phone but you will need to pay the full price of the phone $400-$500. Even then, only he has access to the contract account.
Sorry that yours was stolen. Yes, you can buy an iPhone without a contract - it will just be really expensive. A new iPhone 5 unlocked will cost you $649 for the 16GB and the iPhone 4S will cost you $549 for the 16GB. If you want the iPhone 4, it will cost you $450 unlocked for the 16GB. Of course, you can always try to get an iPhone off of craigslist too, but that adds some risk into the equation.
- Will buying an iphone in contract and unlocking cause contract immediate fee? If i buy a iphone for example on att contract and unlock it, will att charge me what's left on the contract or will i just go by like nothing happened and free of contract? I haven't seen this but it makes quite a bit of sense for companies… Not sure if they do however.
- Is it better to buy a iphone with a contract or without a contract? Because with a contract you have to pay monthly fees $60 - $100 and without a contract you pay more for the phone without the monthly fees
- Is buying the iPhone 5 contract free worth the money? How does it work and what are the pros and cons? If you buy one contract free do you still get Wi-Fi and 4g? I'm thinking about buying one contract free because I have another smartphone with a 2 year contract.
- Iphone - buying an iphone offline from Apple and buying a sim only? Does it not work out cheaper, to buy the handset offline, and have a sim only contact and buy a nano chip separately? if you buy it from the apple store do you have to pay vat? what is the cache?
